Characterization of degradation of an Alfisol caused by clearing and long-term cultivation and the effect of the degradation on leaf (Cajanus cajan) decomposition and nutrient (N and P) release were studied in the humid zone of southwest Nigeria. Degradation of the Alfisol as a result of land cle...

An experiment was conducted in 1990 and 1991 at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria to study the role of earthworms in the decomposition of plant residue mulches with different qualities. Five mulches of Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leu...

Major upland soils in the humid and sub humid zones of West Africa consist of low activity clays (LAC) Alfisols, Ultisols and Oxisols. Alfisols which are less leached and have a high base saturation are more dominant in the sub-humid zone. Chemically they are more fertile, but they have a low str...

The types of germplasm needed for the different agroecological zones where cassava is grown are outlined briefly in terms of what the main supplier (South America) has to offer. Africa's Atlantic coastal belt, its tropical rain forests, its extensive savannas, and the arid zones are examined in r...
The humid tropics are exposed to an unprecedented modernisation of agriculture involving rapid and mixed land-use changes with contrasted environmental impacts. Afforestation is often mentioned as an unambiguous solution for restoring ecosystem services and enhancing biodiversity. One consequence...

Preliminary evaluation of the traditional management systems practiced in rearing west African Dwarf goats in Ayangba area of Benue State indicated high goat population and mortality rate but low productivity. Free range (scavanging) dominated the three identified systems. Comparative field study...
